...shoulder injury. He seemed oblivious to pain. Calmly, he pitched a TD strike to his left end. Score: Navy 25, S.M.U. 13. Now all Navy needed was a stout defense. But who was playing defensive football? In only two plays, Southern Methodist got that touchdown back on a 45-yd. run by John Roderick, a 168-lb. sprinter who runs the 100 in 9.4 sec. and plays football just to keep in shape for track. Minutes later the Mustangs got another and jumped into the lead, 26-25. Now it was Staubach's turn again. Circling right...
...record lasted one week. Against Michigan, Roger was not only spectacular, he was incredible. In the second quarter tackled for what looked like a 20-yd. loss, he arched as he fell and fired a strike to Fullback Pat Donnelly for a one-yard gain. Said Michigan Assistant Coach Jocko Nelson: "The way he plays, you've got to cover the ushers and the people in the stands. The only way to beat him would be to let the air out of the football." With the ball on the Navy 46 and 13 sec. left in the half, Roger...

...Oriental rugs, where Rusk and Khrushchev played a brisk game of badminton. Medicine balls of assorted sizes lie around along with other muscle-building equipment, such as parallel bars, weight pulleys, climbing bars and a gymnastic horse. A corridor leads to Nikita's pride and joy: a 25-yd. swimming pool that can be heated to any temperature, or opened to the sea breeze by a pushbutton that controls enormous steel-and-glass walls. The roof of the pool is made of old bomber wings...
...hungrily eyed the oxygen tank beside the bench. But the heat wasn't nearly as hot as the youthful College All-Stars. On third down and three, with the ball on the All-Star 27, Wisconsin's Quarterback Ron VanderKelen dropped back and flipped a 20-yd. pass to End Pat Richter, who neatly sidestepped the Green Bay safety and sprinted 53 yds. for the winning touchdown. Final score: All-Stars 20, Packers 17-the first time in five years that the collegians had beaten the pros...
